Veteran of empire’s edge. Eco-socialist with blood on my boots. Breaking down collapse for the chronically online and the barely hanging on.

This might be controversial, and please don’t get me wrong, but Mamdani would never have been able to win the NY elections on an anti-Zionist platform if October 7 had never happened. The chain of events that began that day shattered the secular fiction of moral distance. It

Salafis realizing Mamdani is a democratic socialist and pro-LGBT… If this were #Syria: 🟦 Mamdani → Mazloum Abdi 🟥 Cuomo → Bashar al-Assad 🐀 The New York sewer rats → Jolani

People might find this surprising, but if you take a genuine look at where workers’ movements are engaging in armed struggle, many of them are in Muslim-majority countries. The most dedicated revolutionaries I’ve met have often come from Muslim backgrounds. I’m talking about

.Rep. Brian Mast’s stance against repealing the #CaesarAct matters. Rewarding Jolani’s regime, after the coastal massacre, the Druze purge, and rejecting talks with the Kurdish-led SDF, the most effective anti-ISIS force, would be a strategic and moral failure.

In two days, the New Syrian Army will officially join the Global Coalition against Daesh. Good thing this New Syrian Army soldier is getting a haircut, wouldn’t want to be mistaken for one of them.

What better way to fight “woke” DEI than shooting hoops with #Syria’s rebranded al-Qaeda leader <<officially delisted from the global terror list today>> alongside U.S. Central Command’s Admiral Cooper and Operation Inherent Resolve’s Brig. Gen. Lambert. Don’t worry, Pete Hegseth, these guys seem fit.

The IMF director smiles, says “a privilege” to meet Syria’s new president. The war criminal looks happy. He’s getting the legitimacy he’s after, maybe a lifeline to extend indefinitely his newborn regime. But by the end of it he must’ve realised: the IMF doesn’t rebuild

In 2015, just after the liberation of Kobani, we faced a hard choice: should we strike ISIS in its capital, Raqqa, or move on Idlib and link up with our comrades fighting al-Nusra, al-Qaeda’s branch in Syria? I was among those who argued for the latter. For years, Afrin had been

Yesterday’s DC visit nets a 180-day Caesar waiver + partial asset unfreezing. That’s stop-start policy: too short for real FDI, too risky for banks, perfect for opaque, fire-sale concessions. Prices & jobs won’t move; debt and capture will. #Syria
